Re: Anything and Everything
Do not enable this man!  As a representative of "Hoarders Anonymous"  I can say that he is in the last stages of being a hoarder and is about to reach bottom, you will not be helping him if you send him loose women, cold beer, etc... only prolonging his agony and debilitation.  Instead make a donation to S/V Rose permanent round the world fund.

Finally, I must say due to DOJ's willing to step out, I have discovered a tiny character flaw of my own. You see, although I gave way almost everything I own to him for FREE, I have unexpectedly found myself expecting a small token of his appreciation in return. I have been logging on every day waiting to get a "thank-you" note from DOJ - just a small one along the likes of "thanks Wot" or some such. Even if he had sent me his now defunct and totally useless goat but nothing has been forthcoming - but I can't blame DOJ, he never promised such, just a failing on my part. Callous of me isn't it.

He is too busy to be sending thank-you notes. Your ex is obviously keeping him occupied 24/7  .

as long as possible.

In my business model that approach also works - it's a "who you know" thing  .
Funnily enough I was once kinda kidnapped for a short while. I say kinda because they had uniforms - but no paperwork was involved. To be fair, they had a point  (to know DOJ in person is not neccessarily to love him  ).
For legal reasons lets call that an internet story  .

Re: Anything and Everything
I'll send you my ex-wife. You'll have to take over the payments though...

Wotname has already tried that. DOJ apparently sent her back COD, so it may not be such a good idea attempting this again  .

Just bumping the thread as competition means DOJ needs all the help he can.
